Looking for things to do in Portland? Colorful Portland has you covered.
Get acquainted with the city by riding the MAX Light Rail, view Portland's skyline from the Aerial Tram, get lost in Powell's City of Books, spin a 360 at Burnside Skatepark, or command a US Naval submarine at OMSI. Visit the very tall Paul Bunyan Statue, giggle with the mandrill monkey at the Oregon Zoo or cross-country ski at the base of Mt. Hood. Forage throughout the city's many farmers markets, explore farm-to-table dinners on Sauvie Island or savor the sweet, unconventional treats of Voodoo Doughnuts.
